Water Softener FAQs

Water softeners use a process called ion exchange:

  • Hard water passes through a resin tank filled with beads coated in sodium or potassium ions.
  • Calcium and magnesium ions in the water are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions.
  • Softened water exits the system, and the resin is periodically regenerated with a brine solution.
